on zofran still throwing up

I'm on 8 mg every 8 hrs and still throwing up 3-5 times a day. I'm having a hard time eating at all as I'm so turned off by food and trying to drink anything is almost as bad. The only drink I've found that stays down is for any length of time is dark soda (which I NEVER drink) bland foods don't even work well. I am constantly gagging also. Ugh. I'm only 8 weeks and I'm not sure I should ask for more help:( what would you do?

I can usually eat a few bites of oatmeal when I first wake up but I really havevto force it down. I had a few bites of soup and threw up the bagel I had for dinner along with the little bit of juice I drank. Ugh. I'm running out of energy.

With my last lo, I was on zofran and phenergan. This helped. Lemon water also helped. I was still throwing up almost daily, but could get through the day much better than without it. They can also compound phenergan into a fast absorbing cream. Hope it eases soon!

I had that same problem! Nothing worked for me. I tried mg Zofran every 4 hours, 8mg Zofran every 8hrs, sea bands, preggie pops, preggie pop drops, vitamin B6, gummy prenatals, ginger, you name it. I lost 10 lbs in 1 1/2 week & they gave me Reglan 4 times a day & omg it has saved my life! I was so desperate that I was going to beg for a Zofran pump but I'm glad to say Reglan has worked for me. It does make me really tired & restless at night but it's way worth it.

With one of my kids I was ssoo sick and all that I could eat was sour patch kids! Lol morning sickness is worse if u don't have food in you. So I would eat a few of those and then would feel alittle better so I could eat something alittle healthier, an then fallowed by more sour patch kids! Have u tried any sour candy?? Even something sour to suck on?

I am on the Zofran pump now. It's a subcutaneous almost port type thing that is inserted into your stomach or thigh (I have only done stomach). It continually pumps Zofran into your system. It hasn't worked on its own for me so I am having to take Phenergan, too, which is not a great thing since I do work part time and have a two year old. They just tell me to keep taking it and hopefully my body will adjust and not get so sleepy, cause it likes to knock me out. The pump itself is pretty large, all things considered, and is hooked up to you 24/7. You change the tubing and needle every two days (in my case about everyday bc it has caused some bruising and swelling, which is normal for some women), and change the syringe daily, sometimes a few times. It's a nuisance, but if it works, it could be worth the annoyance. GOOD LUCK! I feel your pain!

And I would LOVE to try the Reglan but my Dr's office is hesitant to prescribe it because it evidently can have some bad side effects. I say vomiting everyday can have some pretty annoying side effects, too, and I am willing to take the risk! Ha....we will see if he gives in!

Omg that's horrible! But who knows maybe you'll get lucky this time & it will work without a bad reaction! Unless it's an allergy, if it's an allergy don't bother lol. This is also my 2nd but with my first I was one of the lucky few that didn't get bad morning sickness & if I ever felt nauseous I would just eat crackers & it would solve the problem. Definitely talk to your dr. I also weigh 102 right now & I was very dehydrated at least once a week & they gave me fluids through IV for 5 hours every time. I was sooo happy the first time I took Reglan because I was able to keep down a small meal & water for the first time in 4 weeks! Oh & B6 if I understood correctly is supposed to speed up your metabolism & help you digest food so that it doesn't stay in your stomach so you can't throw it up. I take 100mg once a day but you should call your dr & ask how much is ok for you since everyone & every dr is different. Good luck! :)

Yeah the reglan threw me into full body convulsions. I won't be trying that again. Lol. I only feel mildly dehydrated. I've been able to keep liquid down long enought to get something out of it, but I know ill go down fast at this rate.
